Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
George,I'm sure by reading this thread you know my position on your posturing regarding blatant promoting of your piece along with your arrogant know it all attitude towards anyone who does not see the the light of the purity of your passive lines... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Sorry George,You have two mistaken assumptions regarding my system. First, I use Pass Labs XA-60.5's and not the 100.5's. Secondly, and I think more importantly, since I biamp my system any preamp I use active or passive the signal is first direct...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hi Paul,Yes, your speculation regarding my use of SS amps (Threshold&Pass Labs) with a tube based preamp in my system vs your use of tube based amps with a passive preamp makes sense to me. You get what tubes have to offer the body of the harm...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hi Paul,To answer your question regarding why in my system an active preamp sonicly out performs any of the passives I have owned or auditioned is based on either the gain or buffering they offer: Don't have the foggist notion why from a technolog... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Dear Fiddler,You really pulled out of your ass the idea that I even impiled any type of censorship or that George does not have the right to post his opinion on any thread including this one. Just another way of deflecting what I was really addres... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
First to Grannyring,Thanks for pointing out that the major and really only criticism, with a few exceptions regarding other posters nasty responses about me and my opinion on Paul's thread, has been the repeated posts of George not to educate and ... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Fiddler,This has been gone over before on this thread that George's motivation has nothing to do with financial gain,but is just sharing from the goodness of his heart.Directly to your two points:1) What he charges for the LSA is very reasonable, ... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hey Clio09,I get a kick out of your phrase, "well deal with it", as if I'm losing sleep over the drivel that George keeps pushing for his own finacial gain.I believe that you have entrenched your self in a position for what ever reason to be an ad...

Best 6SN7 Pre Amp tubes?
Both these tubes offer an improvement over regular new stock 6SN7's, however both are left in "the sonic dust" by NOS Tung Sol Blackplate Oval plate 6NS7's. They offer sonic beauty and give the illusion of sounding just like real music. If you wan... 
What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's?
I can't comment on 12AT7's because I never had a piece of gear that used them.I have in my 12AX7 collection over 50 pairs of tubes from all the European and American companies. Famous Mullards, Amperex Bugle Boys, Telefunkens, Mazdas, etc.If your...
